Guys and gals I don't know if it is because we are coming up on a full moon or if it is just going to be rough riding from now till the elections. Anyway, I would like to again ask everyone to debate subjects and NOT turn these debates into personal attacks. There are alot of bright and intellegent ppl on this site and everyone has their different opinions on various subjects. Everybody can agree that everyone is not going to agree on everything alike. Anyway, for some reason threads will move along with good dicussion pertaining to the subject then someone interjects some simple little statement in there that someone else takes wrong and here we go.

Let's everyone step up to the plate and take our debate skills to the next level where we can beat a subject to death without the direct and personal attacks.

thanks

Sounds like a request for civil, reasoned discourse.

I'm all for that.

Thanks Jim.

...

You're a moron. And for agreeing, CLK Man, you're even worse. None of you are as good as I am, and my ideas and opinions, whether back by fact or not, are infinitely better than yours.

There. Did I do it right? Did I win at the internet? Oh wait, I forgot to attack your religion and mention Nazis...

Dang, I'll try harder next time.

Why don't you all go hang yourself or better yet, tie a weight around your necks and go to the deepest point of the lake and drown yourself. No mess that way. All you jerks have stupid ideas anyways. All of you are poopy heads and will always be. Even your children are poopy heads.

Yes, your religion is also stupid. It is, behind the scenes, in league with the Nazis and now the newer breed of Nazis, Aryan Nation, KKK and Skinheads.

That is how you do it, MV

It's too bad Bush jr. and OBL couldnt have settled everything 'manno to manno', live on pay per-view, in a winner takes all-fight to the death match.

I wonder how the world would look today.

It would have DELAYED what we have today but not stopped it. It is in mankind's nature to fight whether it is over *******, oil, land, crops, water, etc, etc. Mankind has been fighting for eons before oil was even a consideration and mankind will fight after oil becomes irrelevant. The tactics, weapons, banners we fly and reasons will be different but we will still quarrel, no matter what.

True that.

I object to the use of a sports, especially baseball, metaphor in this thread. Its meaning and definition have competitive implications which are not conducive to civil discourse or common understanding.

I almost forgot. This assumes people know about sports metaphors. Not only that, it can make those who are athletically challenged feel small and insecure. I object to the use of sports metaphors.

I never played baseball. I feel slighted.

I suspect Bush and Obama are far more civil with each other than their constituents.
